lyrics

Frozen Souls

I'm under the ice, trapped within your frozen soul
The quiet voice of your spirit pure and whole
I'm eternity laughing at your minor mortal role
The twist of fate that shutters all your tiny goals.

Daylight daylight...throw off your chains and step out
Outside outside...the warm summer rains quell your drought
Rise up rise up...constraints are all of the mind
Waken waken...this illusion where all are confined

In your core are stars, down where the frost can't grow.
The ageless spark, those embers still do glow.
Below all the weight and the ever-mounting toll,
Waiting for sunrise to escape this sorry hole.

Daylight daylight...throw off your chains and step out
Outside outside...the warm summer rains quell your drought
Rise up rise up...constraints are all of the mind
Waken waken...this illusion where all are confined

To the sleepers in their nests, to the slumbering soulful best
in the breaking of the day, another path, a clearer way.

To those silent amidst the din, to those who never join in
to the ritual puppet's dance, the contrived consensual trance

To the ones who watch and doubt as the many revel and shout
in praise of their conditioning and their owner's positioning.
